Fairy Penguins at Phillip Island

Second only to Uluru in Australia’s tourism popularity stakes, Phillip Island’s penguin parade is a unique wildlife experience quite unlike any other that draws people from all over the world.  Kids young and old will love watching the little fairy penguins leaping out of the water on their daily return to shore.  The attraction is located on Phillip Island which is two hours out of Melbourne and the feathery spectacle occurs at dusk each evening.
